justshowpost··on USBefuddled: Untangling the Rat’s Nest of USB-C Standards and Cables
The rant about "proprietary chargers" for laptops was also untrue, there was uniform 19V brick-type power supply units with uniform 5.5mm barrel connector for at least 15 years.

Yikes! Not likes!

Mob just became too brazen. Allowing employees to work on their own stuff while [ab]using company's dough was a company's good will and great trust. That employee should go back to normal and work for company during paid hours.

I quite like https://console.dev/latest/ It is curated list of tools mainly for software developers.

Except Donald Trump usually tells the truth and happens to be right, esp. when Clinton News Network is screening their usual "Racist! Conspiracy!".

Two soyjaks (Fidel&Ernesto) pointing at starving Russians who are making free(!) propaganda flick for them.

I can point at the Lemmings type as well.

No, this implies you will have to register as freelancer/self-employed and pay socsec tax.

Makes me wonder, what overall tax burden is in Korea. Can they afford raising it to 65-80%?

This gave me good laugh, the Bolshevist paper unironically named "Pravda". Recommended reading: Robert A. Heinlein - "Pravda" Means "Truth"

An urgent message from Truthout

Trump or no Trump, the US is still reeling from coordinated right-wing attacks on democracy, human rights, and independent media. We must raise $20K by the end of today to keep publishing the truth

justshowpost··on Banks, gangsters and the strange resurgence of cash
Nothing is strange here. Interest rates are dull and Sleepy Joe is about to spy on everything over $599, so money are much safe in the wall safe. That is, not every American can afford offshore banking services.
justshowpost··on Why the ‘Big Short’ Guys Think Bitcoin Is a Bubble
Sure thing, gubment-regulated banking requires very formal bookkeeping. But in the imaginary fee-free crypto system how would you motivate participants to maintain verifiable records of your transactions (for purpose of proving you really paid for some e-commerce deal which in non-immediate)?

justshowpost··on On Democracy as a Necessary Anarchist Value (2017)
­This is­­ completely fake, leftists are always ­authoritarian statists, happy tribes of utopically dancing hippies­ is just a wet dream (and bourgeoisie pays for it).­

­This shouldn’t be particularly surprising. Going back through the twentieth century communists generally fall into two categories; 1) Mass-murdering, ­totalitarian dictators when in power and 2) terrorists when not-in power.

“People have completely forgotten that in 1972 we had over nineteen hundred ­domestic bombings in the United States,” noted retired FBI agent Mark Noel. ­Most of these bombings were committed by terrorist groups such as the Weather Underground. Which is just one in a long list of communist terrorist organizations including FARC, M-19, the Symbionese Liberation Army, the PKK and, let’s be honest, ­Antifa. In fact, a 2001 Department of Energy study found that,

    From an international perspective, of ­the 13,858 people who died between 1988 ­and 1998 in attacks committed by the 10 most active terrorist groups in the world, 74 percent were killed by leftist organizations.*­

There ain't no such thing as a fee-free lunch.

There have to be some interest rate in fund transfer, otherwise there will be no reason to keep transaction records.

There are some opinions which endorsed here and some which suppressed, for example eco-terrorists and police-hating criminals are holy cows here.

justshowpost··on Fixed Point Arithmetic
> fixed point was very important back in the days when CPUs didn't have dedicated floating point instructions

That's a misconception, before widespread dedicated hardware (eg on-chip 80x87) there was software-emulated floating point arithmetic (eg Microsoft Binary Format) for general use. In contrast, fixed point solutions are very narrow purposed, that is, you choose a specific binary representation format so your specific range of values would fit with acceptable precision.

> * denotes equal contribution

Wow, this otherwise typical four-student team was that equity-stuffed to maintain some level of equal outcome.

But... they completely forgot what emitting loud noise is illegal.

No taxation without representation, that is.
justshowpost··on Ask HN: What does one look for in a laptop these days?
1. It must be thin. Really thin.

2. Light. Thin and light.

3. Curved edges. Also curved edges. How could a laptop today not have curved edges? Yes, we said the same thing about the sharp edges of yesterday’s generation. But this time we really mean it.

4. Short battery life. Who wants to carry a huge battery with them? Easier to plug in everywhere you go anyways. Also goes directly against number 1 which is obviously more important.

5. Colors. Almost forgot it. Could you believe it? Specially crafted colors. Colors you’ve never seen before! I can not understand how some say it’s just rolling dice on the color spectrum. It’s totally new colors!

> Facebook ... the only company ... that doesn't sell your data

Was that CNN style reporting where Dr. Zuckerberg sells users' personal data left and right in bulk quantities and seems privacy-friendly at same time? Or just NBC style Let's Go Brandon?

> GDPR

Also, I blame Dr. Zuckerberg for constantly getting caught brown-handed while selling data to private intelligence firms. His miserable failures to do shady business in shady way resulted in this extremely idiotic legislation which rendered a significant number of US websites inaccessible to, say, Frankfurt VPDN endpoint and polluted the rest with ridiculous cookie police which is even more annoying than popup and animated porn banners.
